Death on the Nile
As hinted at the conclusion of 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express”, Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) finds himself solving his next murder case on a luxurious river steamer traveling on the Nile River. A jilted lover stalks a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. I️ had my suspicions about this murder plot, but this story being based of a Christie novel, I️ knew this film would have many possible suspects all with potentially possible motives. It’s a complicated plot with some twists & turns to add to the confusion. This ensemble cast includes Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, & Letitia Wright. Can you deduce who killed who, how, & why before the reveal?
Alien gives it 3 “S.S. Karnak” stars out of 4.
